Avoiding Flood Damage on Vehicles
Not everyone is an expert when it comes to buying cars. Most of us think that if a car is scratch-free, it’s in good condition.
After three months of smooth driving, however, you hear an unusual sound from your engine. You feel uneasy when you step on the brakes because, it seems, there is really something wrong with your car. True enough, when you bring the car to a repair shop, your doubts will be confirmed.
To your surprise, your car went through flood damage and chances are, the previous owner didn’t tell that to his unsuspecting buyer.
This is not an isolated case. Since many hurricanes hits America and residents affected could not bring their vehicles right in the evacuation center, they have no choice but to leave the vehicle in their houses where it is all flooded and damaged.
Another scenario too is that oftentimes, since they live in a city prone to hurricanes, they have to go through the flooded districts just to go to work or get home. These little risky moves when all added up could possibly lead to a long-term engine damage.
Protect yourself everyone. When looking for a used car, always check the city’s database on flood damaged vehicles, where the car was registered. You may also order a vehicle title history from the Department of Transportation.
Clean title history is no assurance that it is a good deal. Better take a mechanic with you to inspect vehicles before buying. But if you can’t hire a mechanic to go with you due to budget constraints, keep this flood damaged car signs by heart.
Pay extra attention to rust, mold, or grit under the dashboard. Some previous owners are a bit careless and think that they could get away with it undiscovered. They could casually say that the car needs just a little cleaning and sway the conversation away from it.
Mud and grit too in engine compartments, such as the alternator, starter motor and power steering pump crevices are even more questionable. Just imagine, how the hell did those particles got there, if not water brought them there?
Rust and flaking from the vehicle undercarriage is also one sure sign. As we all know, metal reacts with water and forms rust. Thus, if that part of the vehicle has rust or is rusty already, think twice. There is really no way that it could develop those rust if not because of flood.
In reviewing those papers, it is advisable that you read between the lines. Being titled several times in, say, three months time or shorter is quite dubious.
Lastly, buy from credible vehicle sellers. Most of them would not sell flood damaged vehicle because it could destroy the reputation that they held dearly for years. If the vehicle is in insurance, pay special attention to details. Think twice if there is a flood title, salvage title or rebuilt title.
Be a responsible buyer and always get your money’s worth by getting high quality merchandises.
